Our club is about 50 miles west of us, but it’s worth the drive if we make a day of it. Then there’s the BBQ place on the way home. Simply outstanding.
I still keep my hand in at 600 but it ain’t as easy as it used to be.

There’s something about a day at the range that works up an appetite. I had to go to optics to be able to keep my hand in at the rifleman’s quarter mile. These 71 year old Mark 1s ain’t what they used to be.
My indoor range annual membership is $500 for a couple. It's a 50 mile drive one-way. We go to lunch at a nice restaurant and shop at the Natural Grocer store as a bare minimum leverage for the drive. I renewed my annual membership in late November 2019. COVID hit. We went to the range TWO TIMES. A really bad return on the membership. I haven't purchased another annual membership since. Ammo and gas prices are way up and ammo availability is still spotty. The weekly 50 rd practice sessions aren't happening as they had been from 1999 to 2019.
